Abstract

Studies on developing an HTS (High-Temperature Superconducting) power cable with high transmission capacity and less loss are actively being performed worldwide. In Korea, an HTS power cable is being developed which applies cold dielectric type that a cable core wrapped by insulating papers is impregnated in liquid nitrogen. The insulating paper used in cold dielectric type is LPP (Laminated Polypropylene Paper) which has less dielectric loss and a superior dielectric property. In this paper, AC and lightning impulse breakdown strength and V-t characteristics with mini-model cables which were manufactured as the same structure with an HTS power cable were researched. Also, a thickness of insulation layer for a 154 kV class HTS power cable was designed as a result.
